The present invention is based on Ag used in micro motors, etc.
-Related to improvements in commutator materials for Pd alloy brushes. Generally, Ag or an Ag-Cu alloy has been used as a material for commutators used in micro motors and the like. Furthermore, Au/Au is added to the surface of Ag or Ag-Cu alloy for the purpose of stabilizing the initial contact resistance.
So-called clad materials, in which an Ag alloy layer or the like is provided and laminated onto a base material such as phosphor bronze, have also been used depending on the purpose. In the case of this clad material,
The alloy layer of Au, Ag, etc. provided on the surface is used as a commutator piece to protect the contact surface from corrosion etc. until it is installed in a micro motor etc. and is operated, and to stabilize the contact resistance in the initial stage. Ag or Ag-Cu provided as an intermediate layer.
An alloy is used as the original contact surface. In this way, the conventionally used Ag or Ag-
Cu alloys were selected in consideration of their electrical conductivity, but on the other hand, Ag or Ag-Cu alloys have low hardness, so when used as commutator pieces, they suffer from a large amount of wear. As a result, there was a drawback in that it lacked reliability in terms of service life when moved over a long period of time. The present invention has been made in view of this drawback, and has substantially retained the excellent electronic conductivity properties of conventionally used Ag or Ag-Cu alloys, and has high hardness, that is, excellent wear resistance. The present invention aims to provide a commutator material for Ag-Pd alloy brushes. In the present invention, an Ag alloy consisting of a total amount of at least one of Sn, Cd, and Mn of 0.05 to 1% by weight, Fe of 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, and the balance Ag is internally oxidized.
- Commutator material for Pd alloy brushes. When Sn, Cd and Mn are subjected to internal oxidation treatment, they become fine oxides and are dispersed in Ag.
It plays the role of increasing the softening temperature of the steel and further improving its mechanical strength. Its content is 0.05~1
The reason for limiting the weight percentage (hereinafter referred to as "w/o") is that if it is less than 0.05w/o, the proportion of dispersion in Ag will be small, and as a result, the mechanical strength cannot be improved much. This is because even if the content exceeds /o, no further improvement in mechanical strength can be expected; rather, the opposite effect of embrittlement of the material will occur. Next, Fe is used to suppress coarsening of Ag crystal grains during internal oxidation treatment and prevent the material from becoming brittle. The content was limited to 0.05 to 0.5 w/o because if it is less than 0.05 w/o, it is less effective in preventing material embrittlement, and if it exceeds 0.5 w/o, it is difficult to disperse it uniformly in Ag. This is because it becomes a cause of defects such as segregation. Next, in order to clarify the effects of the present invention, specific embodiments and conventional examples thereof will be described. Example 1 Ag was melted in a high frequency melting furnace and Sn was added to it.
After adding 0.4 w/o and 0.15 w/o of Fe to form an Ag alloy, it was cast to obtain an ingot. This ingot was wire drawn to obtain a material with desired dimensions. Thereafter, internal oxidation treatment was performed by heating at 700° C. for 10 hours in an oxygen atmosphere. This material was further rolled to form a tape material of a predetermined thickness. Commutators were manufactured in the same manner using the materials shown in the left column of the attached table. The electrical conductivity and hardness of the materials shown in Examples 1 to 10, comparative examples, and Ag and Ag-Cu alloys (Ag-7.5w/oCu) conventionally used as commutators, as well as as commutator pieces. At 2100 rpm
The amount of wear (wear depth) when sliding with Ag-50w/oPd for 500 hours was measured. The measurement results are shown in the table.

Compared to conventionally used Ag or Ag-7.5w/oCu, the electrical conductivity is slightly inferior to Ag, but it is almost the same when compared to Ag-7.5w/oCu, and the hardness is Conventional Ag
Or, when compared with Ag-7.5w/oCu, it is several orders of magnitude better, and as a result, the amount of wear is as low as about one-tenth, extending the operating life and providing high reliability. In addition, the material made of the present invention is Ag-Pd as it is.
It can also be used as a commutator material for alloy brushes, and can also be used as a so-called clad material laminated with other materials. Furthermore, when using the material of the present invention, a thin sulfidation-resistant layer (e.g.
Au, Au-Ag alloy) may be provided.
